Are you creative, digitally savvy, and passionate about food, drink, and student life? We’re looking for a Marketing Assistant (Commercial Services) to support the promotion of our catering and bar outlets across the Waterside Campus.
This is a 30-hour per week permanent position, with shifts scheduled across various days and evenings, including weekends. This post requires flexibility, work ethic, and a passion for delivering high-quality service in a fast-paced environment.
This is a fantastic opportunity to help shape the voice and visibility of our dining and hospitality outlets, from cozy cafés and lively bars to seasonal pop-ups and themed events.
Our students and staff are at the heart of everything we do. You will need to ensure that this is paramount to everything you do.
As well as working in our newly built university we also offer the following benefits;
